Many of the reviews of the titan refer to jaggies on text and visible pixels. I can't see anything like this, everytning is perfectly crisp and clear to me. Has anyone else seen these artefacts or are they a fantasy dreamt up by the reviewers, or maybe my eyes are even more screwed than I thought!!

It has a higher ppi than the iphone 3gs. Whoever says they think the screen is jaggy, or whatever, is deliberately nitpicking, IMO!

Looks fine to me. No jaggies. I have this phone on trial and it's better than I thought. Quality of build is great and the phone doesn't feel too big. Nice job HTC.

After ordering one on Saturday I went to AT&T to check out the screen. The screen is nice and big, but it's not as clear as the iPhone 4. It's most apparent when looking at webpages, I can read the smallest text on the iPhone 4 despite it's smaller screen because of the high PPI. I think I might enjoy the larger screen vs the higher PPI.

I do think wp7 need to increase the resolution for these large screen devices. The lives are just too big! Love the titan but can't get over how giant those live tiles are compared to my HTC Radar! The jagged text is not an issue unless you pt your eye close to the screen though.

I don't know about Titan,but when I compared the Radar side by side with my iPhone, they didn't have much of a difference except for when viewing a page completely zoomed out. The Radar showed jadgged pixels whereas iPhone didn't. but it isn't a big deal IMO. I couldn't read the iPhones text zoomed out because the screen is too small.

But I agree with the OP,some reviews just give the Titan a low score becaus of its dispay ppi which is ridiculous IMO. One of those sites is gsmarena.com. these guys didn't even know what ppi was lol but as soon as iPhone 4 was released,they paid a lot of attention to ppi and gave a low score to any dispay with 300 or lower ppi.

you can see it when reading documents or viewing icons in windows phone. It's really apparent when reading pdfs or anything on the light theme. It's a minor annoyance versus the focus s/flash and the lumia, but its not a huge deal breaker

As far as other sites, its their opinions. And they go through phones daily, so to go from a phone with higher pixel density, you sort of expect it in a lot of your smart phone usage. When its not there, it's quite peculiar to watch. For some its a huge negative, but i can also see how people have stated that it gives Windows a comical experience.

I actually agree with the other pages
